Intermittent Fasting May Be Dangerous for Young Bodies: Results of New Research

A research team from the prestigious Technical University of Munich (TUM) has made a breakthrough in understanding the effects of intermittent fasting on the body. The research results call for a reassessment of this popular eating method's safety for young people.

Intermittent fasting, which has gained millions of followers worldwide, is an eating system where periods of food intake alternate with periods of complete food abstinence. The most common 16/8 scheme involves 16 hours of fasting and an 8-hour window for eating.

Professor Alexander Bartelt, who leads the research group, emphasizes: "The history of intermittent fasting has its roots in ancient practices, but only now are we beginning to understand its complex effects on the body. It's particularly important to study its impact on different age groups."

During the ten-week experiment, scientists studied three age groups of laboratory mice. The results showed that the body's response to intermittent fasting varies significantly depending on age. Statistics show that 87% of young specimens experienced pancreatic dysfunction.

The study revealed a paradoxical effect: while adult and elderly mice showed improvement in metabolic indicators, young specimens experienced significant impairment of beta-cell function responsible for insulin production. This discovery is particularly concerning given the growing popularity of intermittent fasting among teenagers and young adults.

The parallels with type 1 diabetes development mechanisms in humans make this research particularly significant for the medical community. Experts recommend young people abstain from intermittent fasting practices until additional research is available.
